Buyer beware. I have been buying this ground beef for a while now. It's one of the main reasons I joined Sams Club. Months ago, the price was 4.98 lb then out of the blue, the price was increased to 5.72 lb. I still bought it because of the quality, it was still very reasonably priced. On Oct 19th, they canceled the 2 packs I ordered. On Oct 20th I tried ordering again thinking it was a fluke but again, it was canceled. I called my club in Melbourne Fl and was told that they were indeed out of stock. On October 23rd, I ordered it again and noticed that the price had dropped from 5.72lb to 5.22lb. I was tickled pink until I received the meat. I noticed it looked more like 80% than 90%. I confirmed that this time out, what Sam's is selling as 90/10 is more like 80/20 if that. The amount of grease it gave out when I fried the hamburgers was quite large. Here is my take on what happened...Sams switched suppliers hence the interruption in the availability and went with a cheaper supplier. The result is that while we may be getting a break on the price, the quality has gone done incredibly and selling this fatty meat as 90/10 is deceptive. I'm going to speak with Sams customer service about this and encourage you to do the same. If you're doing a barbecue, this meat will do but if you're frying it indoors or cooking indoors with it, prepare yourself for a fat fest.

Always weigh it... I've bought this many times and it's always 1 to 0.5 lbs short. The latest one I got in October listed weight at 9.69lbs and was billed at that, but weighing it on a certified butcher scale showed 9.10 lbs. So somehow 0.5 lbs magically vanished again. Last order was 1 lb. missing , it was listed at 10.21 lbs. but it weighed @ 9.00 lbs.

Had purchased for years due to affordability, but low ratings are now correct! Absolutely not 90/10 due to extra grease and water that must be drained twice. Smell and tastes off to the point I don't find it appetizing. After this happening past two purchases, it's time to move on from purchasing this ground beef!

We've bought the 90/10 twice from Sam's. The first time, it seemed comparable to other stores and was far cheaper to buy in bulk than a pound at a time. Didn't have an issue with quality. Our second roll, however has been a huge disappointment! So many gristly pieces that I'm spitting out as much as I'm consuming. I finally threw away the last three pounds I had in my freezer. I hoped I would get a pound or two that didn't make me want to gag with all the gristle, but it never happened. Never again! I'll spend a little more to have better quality next time. I guess cheap is fine if you don't mind working around the rough gristle you'll find.

I was considering buying this product in store several times and every time I go in the store and see the tube of it, you can see it is clearly not 90/10. There are just as many white specs as there is red. It looks like it is even less than 73% lean. I hold it up to the 85-88% and you can clearly see the difference - almost no white in the 88% lean. I don't know whether the 90% white specs are fat, gristle, cartilage, or ligaments, but I do know I don't want any of that! The price is good and there's a reason for that and it's because it's not real 90% lean. I don't know if this is an issue at every store; I would assume it is, but at the West Mifflin, PA Sam's Club it is definitely a big issue.

This is NOT 90/10 I bought in store and used it to meal prep there was tons of fat in the pan after and tons at the bottom of my containers the customer service said this is the first complaint they had about it but after seeing these reviews it's clear lots of people are noticing this

Very good price for 90/10 ground meat. About 80 lbs.

We have a large family and have gotten this big box of beef for years. It even seems more lean that 90% and it's perfect for our family.

We have bought this ground beef for several years and have been pleased until recently. The past 3 rolls, we use one roll a month, have had chunks of gristle and pieces of bone in them. Cannot recommend and we stop buying.

Sometimes I find bone scraps in them which hurt my teeth as I bite. But it's overall a great product👍🏻
